Details

This page contains links to documents concerned with the Individualised Learner Record (ILR) standard files and associated reference data from the Data Governance team.

These documents specify how and when the learner data collected is presented for analysis and we also send them to external organisations for their own analysis. This ensures that the files being analysed are fit for purpose and that any ambiguity is avoided.

Included are:

  • The ILR Standard File Specification, which shows how the data from the ILR collections is formatted for further analysis. This also includes derived variables (DVs) which help produce clearer and consistent data

  • The Freeze Schedule which details the frequency of the ILR returns, when they are available and the purposes for which they are collected.

  • ILR Dataset 201516
  • ILR Dataset 201415
  • What is the ILR Standard File Specification
  • ILR Freeze Schedule
